Who fares better in teamwork?
研究发现高能力或低成本成员在团队中可能因搭便车而处境更差，并揭示了如何组建高效且公平的团队，解释了职场和课堂中对团队合作的普遍反感。
Abstract This article establishes a tenuous link between ability and relative well‐being in teamwork. It shows that higher‐ability or lower‐cost members can easily fare worse than their lower‐ability counterparts due to free‐riding. The extent of free‐riding hinges crucially on log‐concavity of effort cost, which its convexity restricts little. The article further shows how to compose teams that allocate effort efficiently and equalize payoffs in equilibrium. Efficient teams must have sufficiently diverse abilities and sizes at most the number of cost log‐inflections plus one. These findings can explain the evidence of a significant dislike for teamwork in the workplace and classroom.
